How Network Security is Vital to 75F Operation

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, where everything from our homes to large corporations operates in a web of interconnectivity, the importance of a robust network security strategy cannot be understated. When it comes to building management systems, where even a minor breach can compromise both data and physical safety, the stakes are notably high. This is why at 75F, we've developed and implemented an unparalleled security framework called O.R.A.N.G.E. While each component of this framework plays a critical role, today we'll delve deep into the realm of Network Security. 

Network Security is Pivotal

To understand the weight of network security for a Building Management System (BMS) like 75F, consider this: Every function, data transfer, temperature adjustment, and energy-saving measure happens via a Building Management System's network. This interconnected web of information contains building data for clients and their tenants. Thus, robust network security s a necessity.

Key Features of 75F's Network Security

  • Intrusion Detection Systems: At the frontline of our defense mechanism is our state-of-the-art intrusion detection system. Its role is straightforward but vital: monitor and guard the network against any unauthorized access. By continuously scanning for suspicious activities or anomalies, it ensures that any potential breaches are identified and neutralized swiftly, keeping our BMS running seamlessly. 

  • Secure Network Architecture and Load Balancing: Beneath the surface of our system lies a carefully designed network architecture. This blueprint not only supports critical systems and data but also ensures that resources are used optimally. With our strategic load balancing, we ensure that even during times of high demand, our system works without any hiccups, ensuring uninterrupted service and security. 

  • Traffic Encryption and Secure Protocols: As data travels across our network, it's crucial to shield it from prying eyes. Our traffic encryption ensures that any data, whether it's a command signal or sensitive user information, is coded in a way that it remains unintelligible to potential hackers. We use secure protocols that act as additional layers of armor, ensuring the sanctity of our data in transit. 

  • Proprietary 900 MHz Wireless Mesh Network: One of the unique features that sets 75F apart is our proprietary 900 MHz wireless mesh network. This isn't just any network; it's designed for consistent, robust, and secure device communication. With this, we can maintain continuous coverage that is closed to outside access.

Setting the Benchmark in Cloud-Native BMS Network Security

The realm of IoT-based Building Management Systems is still relatively new. As pioneers, it's our responsibility at 75F to not just offer top-tier services but to also lead by example, particularly when it comes to network security. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our O.R.A.N.G.E security framework. Today, you've learned about the intricacies of our network security, and we hope this gives you a clear picture of the lengths we go to ensure that your building operations are not just efficient and smart, but also secure.
